Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

"It doesn't matter! Gender doesn't matter. If you value that, then Hannah, do you need a girlfriend? I think I'm a good fit."

"...?"

Why is the girl being deferential at first and then obsequious? It's kind of funny.

Chapter 69 Urutia

"Dear Hannah~ Can you really not tell me the secret of that time-space magic? It's really important to me~"

“Urudia, I’m glad you’re willing to help me tidy up my room, but I don’t like your opportunistic attitude.”

In the shared dormitory of Abbot and Urudia, the two are facing off in the living room.

Abbott sat on the sofa, leisurely eating a piece of pudding.

Urudia knelt beside him, her hands clasped together, her face full of earnestness.

Thoughts are made of magic and normally do not need to eat, drink, or excrete. They cannot taste food. However, the pudding was specially bought for Ultear. Wouldn't it be disheartening if she didn't eat it?

Kind-hearted Abbot would never do such a thing.

Since that "tea party," Urutia's attitude towards Ebo has undergone a complete 180-degree turn, becoming almost obsequious.

A beautiful girl with long, straight black hair is always concerned about your life, buying you snacks and milk tea from time to time, and showing concern for you all day long... This should be a wonderful thing.

But Abbo didn't feel anything about it; he was completely unmoved and even enjoyed it all with a clear conscience.

reason?

There's no other reason than to listen to what this guy is thinking.

[That damn tomboy! I've already tried so hard to please her! What more does she want?! If it weren't inconvenient being at the magic academy, I would have dragged her back to headquarters and tortured her!]

Haha, this wicked woman, she has one face in her heart and another on the surface, her acting skills are quite good. If I hadn't been more skilled, I would have been fooled by her.

"To be honest, I'm already starting to regret teaching you magic. That really is a complete spell model for the [Go Back to the Past] magic. Why don't you believe it?"

Abbot never intended to keep the other person hanging. Abbot never hoarded his magic, so when Ultear asked him for it, he gave it to her without hesitation.

Unfortunately, the other party simply didn't believe it.

"No, you're definitely hiding some crucial information from me. That magic circle seems plausible, but it's impossible for it to be activated. Unless you're willing to lend me that magical artifact that can travel through time, I won't bother you anymore!"

This is why the two are stuck here.

Of course, Abbott would never hand over "Memories of Time" to this mysterious and wicked woman.

What's more, none of this guy's innermost thoughts are pure these days. If it weren't for the fact that Aibo has been getting a bit too comfortable being fawned over these past few days, he would have ignored her long ago.

Urutia felt she was just one step away from fulfilling her long-cherished wish, but she couldn't find the door no matter what she tried, and she was on the verge of tears.

Abbot is now her lifeline, and she will hold on to him tightly and never let go.

"You really are only thinking of yourself. Instead of bothering me here, you should think about how to cultivate time magic. The only reason this magic circle can't be activated is that we are all too weak."

"But haven't you already met the people from the future? Judging from what you're saying, they probably aren't very strong!"

"I already said that they were able to travel through time and space by using the power of magical artifacts."

"Then let me take a look at that magical artifact!"

Hey! You really are something else!

Urudia bit her lip, then knelt down and sincerely swore:

"Please! If I can use the power of that magical artifact to go back to the past, just once, I'll give you my life. You can make me do anything you want after that!"

Aibo dodged with a leap, and said with an annoyance:

"Get out of here! It's not like anyone cares about your life. You've walked into a dead end, you know that? It's just a magic spell, not worth wasting your life on."

"It doesn't matter! The meaning of my life is to go back to the past..."

"Bullshit! People live to create a better future. Those who are obsessed with the past will only become prisoners of their memories. In the end, you're just regretting it, aren't you? You want to change the past?"

Well, I'll be frank with you, theoretically speaking, what has already happened cannot be changed, not even with magic to go back in time. So stop harboring unrealistic fantasies!

Abbott seemed to have hit a nerve with Urudia, and now she was truly alarmed:

"No! I didn't! I never wanted to change the past, I just... I just wanted to..."

I just want to ask that person, why did you abandon me!

I just want to know what exactly happened back then?

I just want to ask my mother, did she ever love me...?

Aibo heard the echo from the deepest part of Urutia's heart.

The subconscious and subjective thoughts are in conflict; it's another fool trapping himself in his own mess.

Abbot sighed:

"I don't even know what to say to you... Fine, I'll just tell you plainly. According to my research, there are still a few essential things missing in order to activate this magic circle that takes us back to the past."

"what?!"

"Massive amounts of magic, the power of space and time, and an ultimate understanding of time—these are things we currently cannot possess, so stop daydreaming. Unless you have a way to obtain these three things, don't bother me!"

Ultear was stunned. Wasn't this exactly what Zeref possessed? The strongest dark mage must have all three of these things. Could it be that things, after all the twists and turns, were ultimately going to come full circle?

She was still somewhat unwilling:

"Is there really no other way? Why don't you let me see that spacetime magic device? Just let me see it..."

"Hehehe, how about... you tell me your story too? I'll see if I can help you?"

"...I can't say."

"Look! You have no sincerity at all. You only know how to force others to do things against their will, but when it comes to yourself, you're not happy. We have nothing more to say to each other! You can leave now."

Abbot swallowed the patch in one gulp, clapped his hands, and turned to leave.

Urudia reached out his hand, as if to say something but then stopped, and in the end said nothing.

[I'm such a despicable woman. She's right. I knew all along she wasn't lying to me; she was just making things difficult for me. If she really could use magic to go back in time, she probably wouldn't even know this secret herself. She's actually helped me a lot; at least she showed me that fulfilling my long-cherished wish isn't impossible.]

"I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position... And thank you, Hannah."

Abbot ignored her; he didn't have a good impression of this woman anymore.

"Um... can we still be good friends?"

Abbot said irritably:

"Why aren't you leaving? I don't want to talk to you."

"Um, this is our dorm room."

"...I forgot! Then I'm leaving!"

Abbot went straight back to his room and slammed the door, leaving Urudia standing there somewhat bewildered.

What should I do? She seems genuinely angry. Is it because of my dishonesty? Sigh, on the other hand, Hannah is the only friend I've made over the years without any ulterior motives.

Moreover, with her talent, she might make a breakthrough in time magic in a few years. That could be another backup plan for me, so I still need to maintain a good relationship with her...

Later, Ultear took the "Go Back to the Past" magic model to consult her guild master Hades and got a similar conclusion to Ebo's.

From then on, Urudia completely believed Abo's words and began to "pursue" Abo, following him around like a lapdog every day.

One day, the ambitious Zeklay finally realized that he hadn't seen his loyal follower in a long time, so he took the initiative to go to him.

"Urudia, please contact Brian for me. I need to purchase a batch of living equipment for the Tower of Paradise."

"Huh? Here's his contact information. Go find him yourself. Don't come to me for such trivial matters in the future. I'm afraid Hannah will misunderstand."

Zikrein: ? ? ?

Chapter 70: On Holiday, an Encounter with a Sad Rain Woman

In X780, Abbot was 10 years old.

The first half of the year passed uneventfully, with nothing particularly noteworthy happening.

Everything is fine on my side. I'm in great shape and have a great appetite. My body is developing rapidly, and my magic power is also increasing by leaps and bounds. It has already broken through the 9000 mark, caught up with Mira, and is very close to Erza.

At 15 years old, Erza's magic power is already around 10000, and she is very likely to pass the S-class mage exam by the end of the year, breaking Laxus's record as the youngest S-class mage.

Mira has been chasing Erza for so long, but she still can't catch up. It'll probably be next year. As for Cana, maybe the year after? I'm not sure.

Anyway, Abbot has given up on it for the next few years. His main body only has two or three thousand magic power now, and most of his magic power is left in his thought body.

He could graduate from the magic academy around 82 and obtain the Ancient Magic Scripture, so Abo planned to take the S-class exam again in 83 to give his sister Kana a chance.

Life on the other side of the Memory Entity was also peaceful. Apart from having a follower named Ultear by his side, nothing special happened.

As for Ultear, Abbot still ignored him. This woman was too calculating and not as pure as his guildmates, which Abbot disliked.

Let her follow if she wants; she can be used as a maid anyway. Abbot won't spoil her.

In July, the Magic Academy academic year ended, and Abbott successfully achieved first place in the entire grade in the final exam, maintaining a significant lead. The Ancient Books side quest progress is 1/3.

The magic academy then had a vacation of more than a month, and the Thought Entity suddenly had nowhere to go.

Taking this opportunity, Abbot decided to open the world map and use his thought form to walk around Fiore, leaving spatial coordinates for future teleportation.

Since the goal is to explore the map, taking the magic train is out of the question, so Abbot chooses to embark on the journey alone on foot.

After transmigrating, I always seemed to have no shortage of companions around me, and I was quite unaccustomed to being alone all the time.

However, Abbot's travels are all in a simple mode. He travels for a day, then leaves his coordinates at the same spot at night and disappears. The next day, he is teleported back to the same spot to continue his journey.

Having spatial magic is so convenient.

Abbott passed through many villages with an otherworldly feel, from primitive tribes dressed in animal skins to futuristic punk towns, and even encountered giants over ten meters tall...

This world is truly vast and expansive, and adventures in other worlds are indeed exciting.

Once, when Abbot was passing through a village, he helped the villagers get rid of a monster that was ravaging their farmland. A pretty village girl ran up to him and asked if he had any brothers.

Even though he wasn't using Hannah's pseudonym anymore, he was still mistaken for someone else's gender. There was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, Abbott was used to it and didn't care about such trivial matters. After all, it was only temporary, and he wouldn't have this problem when he grew up.

After explaining that he was a man, her eyes lit up with an alarming light, and she insisted on asking him to "borrow" her sperm, which scared Abbot so much that he teleported away immediately.

If Gildarts were in this situation, knowing the guy as Abbott does, he would definitely agree without hesitation, and it's no wonder Gildarts loves to travel.

In the ordinary world, mages are treated almost the same as cultivators. To the villagers with little experience, it's no different from encountering a god. Borrowing a seed is just a basic operation.

However, most ordinary people lack awe for the power of mages; look at the villagers in Mira's village, they even dare to bully demons.

I don't know whether to say Mira is too kind or to lament the villagers' ignorance and fearlessness.

The current situation is similar...

"Rain Woman? What's that?"

Looking at the enthusiastic villagers in front of him, Aibo asked a question with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, there's a girl living by the river in the next village. Wherever she goes, it rains incessantly. It's sometimes quite useful, but I just can't stand the endless rain, so I decided to move away from that village."

"Sir, you come from a big city and are quite knowledgeable. Could you help me solve this problem? Or perhaps you could take that Rain Woman away; we're willing to pay you."

"It sounds like a magical effect. How old is that rain woman?"

"Jubia was 14 years old. I remember it very clearly. Since her parents died ten years ago, it hasn't rained in the next village for ten years. Sigh, she's a poor child."

"Interesting, I'll go check it out."

Abbot pondered, "A magical talent that naturally awakens and can even influence the climate? Is he another genius? I'll just pick him up and give him to the guild master."

Having made up his mind, Abbot glanced at the rain clouds not far away and walked in that direction.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the rain clouds were quite small, covering only a small area, creating the peculiar phenomenon of rain falling only in this small patch while the rest of the area remained sunny.

Not wanting to get his clothes wet, Abbot stood at the edge of the rain-water boundary, feeling the dense, almost overflowing water elemental magic in the air, and was startled.

Can a mage really influence the environment to this extent with magic? Doesn't she get tired of constantly and extravagantly consuming magic power?

Could it be that, like me and Mira, he is a genius who awakens with LV4 water magic?

Abbott's telepathic magic had captured the "Rain Woman" located in the center of the rain cloud, and he greeted her with telepathic magic:

Hello, excuse me for bothering you, but could you please stop the rain outside?
